 * Citing WT:CFI: 'A brand name for a physical product should be included if it has entered the lexicon'. The term does not refer to a physical product. I am not saying we need to keep ".NET Framework", but that has nothing to do with WT:BRAND. --Dan Polansky 07:27, 7 October 2011 (UTC)


 * This user has added a lot of software products and software trademarks. I'm not really even sure that we should have .NET (which I added a while ago, but not with great enthusiasm and only to disambiguate from the existing .net). Equinox ◑ 09:32, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I seem to think it is a physical product rather than a concept. It's not tangible in the way a wooden table is, but nor is heat or electricity or sound or vibrations, but I would nevertheless consider all four of those physical. Mglovesfun (talk) 09:35, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Heat, electricity and sound are not physical products, unlike cars. Software is also not a physical product. A physical product is space-extended, can be touched, and has a mass. Physical products include cars, computers, consumer electronics, footwear, clothing, and food. What is not physical product includes bank accounts, insurance contracts, software, databases (data collections), movies, books, and songs. Citations missing, though. --Dan Polansky 11:55, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
